How Bruno Fernandes has changed the Manchester United's Atmosphere.
Manchester United has transformed significantly since Bruno's arrival. The portuguese star is involved in 42 goals in 44 appearances more than any other player in the premier league since his debut.
Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of Manchester United, the team have improved their performance but not enough to win a trophy. They finished 5th in league in 2018/19 season though Ole came in charge in mid season. The following season they had a bad start despite making some big signings. They were struggling and lacking a creative midfielder as their key player Paul Pogba was unavailable in most of the matches because of injury. This was costing united so many important games. All these things made United move for the portuguese international. Actually, United wanted to sign him before the start of 19/20 season but due to some uncertain circumstances the transfer didn't go through and United had to wait till January 2020 to finally land their man.
Bruno immediately had an impact on every matches after making debut in mid season. Unfortunately they couldn't win any trophy last season. However, they booked their place in the champions league and obviously the credit goes to their new star man Bruno Fernandes. He was so significant last season as he scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists which is more than any other midfielder since his debut in the premier league. Furthermore, before his arrival United was suffering from penalty misses. He's solved that problem too and become a certain penalty taker.
He's also had a perfect start in 2020-21 season. Till Christmas he's scored 14 goals and provided 8 assists in all competition. No other midfielder in Europe has that much of goal involvement. He is the top scorer and assist provider for united so far this season. Not only this he's also created more chances than anyone. So right now he is scoring goals, giving assists, creating chances all at a time which has certainly made him one of the best in Europe. He was valued around 50m in January 2020 according to TranaferMarkt and now within 12 months his market value has risen to €90m. The board, coach and the fans everyone is satisfied with him.
Bruno's arrival has changed the United dressing room too as rest of the players seem more focused and determined than before. This is helping United reach their destination. Now United look more of a consistent team as their wining rate has increased notably. United has spent nearly 1billion since Alex Ferguson's retirement but failed to meet the expectations. They lost their dominance in England as well as in Europe. Nevertheless, the current united squad looks more promising though they need to fix some errors especially the defense.
Bruno Fernandes is one of the main reasons behind Pogba's lack of playing time. When Bruno was signed everyone wanted to see the pair together on the pitch however the duo has hardly started together for a match because of Pogba's injury and some tactical reason. As the portuguese star has become more vital for the team, the french international is often found on the bench. And Pogba is not much satisfied about his position as he's losing his importance. Pogba is already in talks with some clubs according to some reports. However, his departure won't hurt United much. How? Find out the reason here
